hmm small mystery possibly partly resolved. ate a thing earlier today and now i’m burping and yawning and feeling tired and weirdly anxious
and apparently those are all food allergy symptoms!

i thought it was feelings 😅
(it might still be feelings but it’s being heightened by the allergy response idk i don’t think there’s a hard separation between the two anyway)

Did you not get lectured up and down about food ✖️ brain by Dai ? He has a vast developed framework on this

Also and I went through a years long journey tryna figure out this thing where I was having seizures (maybe?…) with food and kinda got nowhere except just eating plain chicken and rice seemed fine

sorry for saying we got nowhere. we got a lot of where. i went on high dose of lamictal for seven months and i've been off for a few weeks but things seem to remain fairly settled in my neurochemistry.
food x neurochemistry x emotions is quite a big can of worms to open though

whoa fascinating can you guys say more? is it like... my current sense is it can be sort of a learned response and it can be sort of unlearned?

hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmm
okay so here's what i think has been happening to me, would love feedback. i'm p sure i used to have zero food sensitivities. acquired a sensitivity to lactose at age 20 after i studied abroad for a year, god knows why, didn't drink milk the whole time
at age... 24-26, not sure when, acquired a sensitivity to apples, during a pretty stressful period of my life
and have been finding more and more sensitivities since: broccoli (in large quantities), garlic (REAL SAD ABOUT THIS ONE), onions, and whatever today's was is new

think it's something like if i eat food that is like uh idk the sort of food that people become sensitive / allergic to, while i am also having a bad time emotionally, then that all gets mixed up somehow (esp. if i'm holding tension in my stomach??? who knows)
